THE NEW YORKER Galbraith finally decided to summon Mr. Dermott to his office and get the distasteful business over with. It was to be regretted that the Dean of the Fac- ulty had not, in the President's own d " b fi " Th . . wor s, een rm. e sItuatIon was really most awkward, and Mr. Dermott on his arrival did not make things easier for his superior by coming into the PresI- dent's office and saying pleasantly, "I find myself obliged to go to the city next weekend. Are there any little missions that I can perform for you or Mrs. Galbraith " "I think not," said Dr. Galbraith uncomfortably. "Er-thank you very much for suggesting it." He hastily plunged into the business of the day lest the conversation should become too friendly. Only by maintaining a firm executive manner, he feared, would he be able to maneuver this capable but perverse individual into a conservative uniform of serge, worsted, or tweed. "The fact is, Mr. Dermott, my reason for making this appointment was to discuss with you a little matter that I believe the Dean of Students has already brought to your attention.

"I shall certainly try to," said Mr. Dermott, anxious to do whatever was desired, but at the same time per- plexed as to just what the President meant. "We must remember," said the President solemnly, "that we are en- gaged in the field of higher education. Young men look up to us and imitate us. For this reason we cannot attach too much importance to-er-these super- . ficial matters." He bent forward and winningly tapped Mr. Dermott on the sleeve.
